At the boiling point, molecules begin to move from a liquid to a gaseous state. For individual molecules, this process (evaporation) can occur at temperatures lower than boiling.
*There is still additional energy required (called the heat of enthalpy) and there must be a nucleation point from which the molecules move. Lacking these, water can reach temperatures higher than the boiling point without becoming a gas.
Steam has the most energy as its particles are in the gaseous state and move faster than particles in liquid water or ice, which are in the solid or liquid state respectively. Freezing water has a similar amount of energy as liquid water since they are at the same temperature.
When steam turns to water, the particles lose energy and slow down, coming closer together. This causes the steam to condense into liquid water.
The most probable answer for your your question is pure water.
Particles move most rapidly in steam. In steam, water molecules are in a gaseous state, where they have high energy and can move freely and quickly. In contrast, while water ice has particles that vibrate in place, they are much more constrained compared to the relatively fast-moving particles in liquid water and steam. Thus, steam has the highest particle movement among the three states of water.
When water becomes steam, the attraction between particles decreases. In liquid water, molecules are closely packed and experience strong intermolecular forces, but as water is heated and turns into steam, these forces weaken. The molecules gain energy, move apart, and transition into a gaseous state, where they are much further apart and move freely. Therefore, the attraction between particles in steam is significantly lower compared to that in liquid water.
Steam condences into water, water freezes in to ice, ice melts into water, water boils to steam
at 100 degrees liquid water will go to steam and steam will go to liquid water
it gets hot

As the water heats up the pot you're boiling it in, the particles of the water receive more energy. The more energy the particles have, the faster they move and the farther they spread apart. When the water finally reaches 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius), its particles spread so far out that they make the transition from a liquid to a gas. Thus, making steam.
No. Take water for example. Water boils at 100 degrees C. When water boils it becomes steam. This steam as soon as it is released is 100 degrees C also. The boiling point for a liquid is the point when it becomes a gas.
Assuming they are non-volatile, solids in liquid water will remain in the water when it boils. This is the process of distillation, where the solids and non-volatile matter is separated from the water, and is left behind as the water evaporates off.
When steam turns to water, the particles lose energy and slow down, coming closer together. This causes the steam to condense into liquid water.
The liquid mass is partly converted to a gas (steam, water vapor), so if this escapes, the mass is no longer there. The steam can, however, be captured and condensed, and used again (as in steam engines).
the particles are given more energy.
When steam condenses, its water vapor particles lose thermal energy and come together to form liquid water particles. This process releases heat, which is why condensation is accompanied by the release of latent heat energy.
